So what's new? We privatise the profit and we nationalise the debt. We know that; that’s not new. However, now we privatise breast implants made from bedding material and nationalise the proper medically approved ones.

Cheeseless cheese sauce as per recipe here.
Cooked and seasoned quinoa as per recipe here.

Method:

Put the raw, defrosted haddock fillet, into a microwavable dish, with the raw broccoli on top. Microwave it for about 5 minutes. Until the fish is cooked (it breaks apart to the touch).

Then smother the broccoli and fish with the Cheeseless Cheese Sauce. Get the recipe here.

Cover this with a cooked spicy quinoa topping. Get the recipe below - or here.

Spicey Quinoa Topping

Cooked quinoa

Ingredients:

½ a cup of dry quinoa
1½ cups of water

Method

Put these two ingredients into a saucepan and bring it to the boil, and then immediately turn the heat down as low as possible to simmer for 10-15 minutes. The quinoa absorbs all the water. Take it off the heat.

Coat the quinoa in the seasoning and oil and sprinkle it over the Cheeseless Cheese Sauce.

You can give the dish a whirl in the microwave and lightly brown the topping under the grill to make it crunchy if you like things piping hot. But remember that the more you heat this healthy food, the less healthy it becomes. You can protect the essential oils in the rapeseed oil (omegas 3 + 6) by simply adding it last - i.e. after the cooking process.

Add 1 cup (6 fluid oz) of water to these dry ingredients and give it a whirl in the microwave for 3-5 minutes.

Here's another way I use my Healthy Cheeseless Cheese Sauce. You'll get the recipe here.

I've chopped up about 150g of broccoli and chucked it in along with the quinoa flakes, mustard powder, ground turmeric and seasoning.

Add the yoghurt,lemon juice and canola/rapeseed oil to this

I've given it a 3 minute whirl in the microwave at the porridge stage. 3 minutes won't destroy too much of the vitamins in the broccoli but if you want to keep the broccoli raw, just add it along with the 'uncooked ingredients'. You'll get that sort of info at my Hubpages blog here.

Cheeseless Broccoli Cheese in minutes

I'd leave my broccoli uncooked if it were fresh out of the garden, but this is supermarket stuff, so I cook it lightly just in case there's dodgy bacteria present.

A man in County Durham, England has shot and killed three women and then committed suicide. It's a terrible tragedy, and the debate about gun-ownership has sparked off again. I'm suspicious of anyone who wants to own a lethal weapon of any kind, and especially if they're the kind who also harbour political ambitions.
